RPG Audio - fantasy music and sound effects for board games

response required

The app has actually quite a large bank of sound effects/music. I'd say that about 1/3rd of them are actually useful, quality effects for a dm to create an atmosphere, the other 2/3rds are useless garbage horror/scifi sound effects that you either find standard on any free soundboard, or they sound like they were recorded on someones old iPod microphone and dumped copious amounts of reverb effects onto. Plus it's just a soundboard with pictures and no titles for anything, it's not actually well suited for setting an atmosphere as a DM seeing as how you'd have to turn off the previous effect(s) and then also look for the picture associated to the now relevant sound effect(s) you wanted and turn those on before continuing. IDK... It's not a whole lot better than a free soundboard, except that you can play multiple sounds at one time and if you play one that loops, it does keep playing even after you navigate away from the app. Buy at own risk.

I must agree it is good advice to pass on this app if you are looking for sounds for your Table Top RPG. One or two could be used, but too many are things like kitty cats or gunfire to earn the app an inclusion in “Fantasy RPG” genre sounds. It’s in the name but not so much in the app.

...this has amazing ambient background sounds for all types of situations but pretty weak sound effects- I would couple it with another app for actual sound effects.

Sounds are not that great. Would prefer to see a more dynamic sound set with better sounds more suited to fantasy campaigns. Unfortunate was hoping for more.

Great and simple; wonderful sounds to play in the background of your game. My only complaint is that the pictures are a bit hard to interpret as to what sounds they represent (one picture is used twice and represents two sounds). I wish they were numbered so that you could jot yourself notes as to which sounds you intend to use. Since the pictures are vague, they're hard to incorporate into the game without searching thru the ap. But great on the whole.
